Aerodynamic and flow structure analysis of iced wind turbine airfoil
(2025)The issue of icing on wind turbines presents a significant operational challenge, especially in northern regions of Canada, where cold climates and harsh winter conditions prevail. This buildup of ice increases mechanical ... -
Computational investigations of vortex dynamics and dynamic stall of pitching airfoils at high Reynolds number
(2025)This study employs high-fidelity Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) and modal decompositions to elucidate dynamic stall mechanisms on a pitching NACA 0018 airfoil at 𝑅𝑒 = 160000. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) isolates ... -
Experimental testing of geomechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) under warmer curing temperature
(2020)Backfilling techniques enable improved ore recovery and structural stability to underground mines employing a material to fill the voids after the excavation. Fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) is this ... -
Nonlinear dynamics and vortex mechanics for energy harvesting from fluttering wings
(2025)This research investigates the nonlinear aeroelastic dynamics and energy harvesting performance of a two-degrees-of-freedom NACA 0012 wing under varying reduced velocities and electrical load resistances. In the first part ... -
Simultaneous broadband vibration suppression and energy harvesting using a magnetically enhanced piecewise-linear nonlinear energy sink
(2025)Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) offer significant potential for simultaneous broadband vibration suppression (VS) and energy harvesting (EH) through the use of an essentially nonlinear spring (ENS). However, realizing an ENS ...
